Book description
The United States has been spending its way deeper and deeper into the
red, and saddling future generations with the mess-but who's paying
attention? To answer that question, this companion book to the
critically acclaimed documentary
I. O.U. S.A.
talks with some of the most revered voices in the nation, including
Warren Buffett; former Treasury Secretaries Paul O'Neill and Robert
Rubin; and Pete Peterson, CEO of The Blackstone Group. Defiantly
non-partisan, the empowering solutions outlined in these pages are a
must-read for any American concerned about the current state of affairs.
